The Plant Department's official ship was large and fast, it didn't take long for it to leave Jialing City in the dust. Morin who had been watching from the small window of the warehouse finally calmed down.
"Looks like there's no problem." He said, "With this ship's speed, we can reach Black Army City in three days."
"I don't know how Su Tang is doing." Lu Ping said.
"This is the fastest way to Black Army City." Morin couldn't answer Lu Ping's question and could only say this to reassure Lu Ping.
"En." Lu Ping nodded.
"We haven't rested even after traveling through the night, let's take turns to sleep." Fang Yizhu suggested.
"I'm not tired, you guys sleep first." Lu Ping said.
"Then I'll sleep for a while." Morin said.
"Okay."
The other three found a corner to sleep. Lu Ping came to the small window where Morin had been and sat down to look out. This was his first time on a ship, but it wasn't anything new or exciting. He seemed calm along the way, but he never stopped worrying about Su Tang's situation. As Lu Ping gazed at the river through the window, he hoped that the ship could go faster. The faster, the better.
On the deck.
The perception that had come from the naval barracks had only swept past and He Shun had not paid it much attention. As the official ship left Jialing City, he finally talked to the beauty and found out her surname was Li.
Miss Li didn't talk much, but she always said the right things, making He Zhen feel like he regretted not meeting her earlier. But after the ship steadied, she asked to go back to the cabin to rest. He Zhen was reluctant to part with her, but he could only step forward to send her off. He escorted Li Xiang Jun back to the warehouse and into her room before reluctantly leaving.
In the evening, the ship's dining hall was full of people. He Zhen had come early in the morning and found a place where he could see Li Xiang Jun's room. He had been sitting there for two hours, but Li Xiang Jun still hadn't come out, making him a bit disappointed. Just as he was wondering if he should take the initiative to send some food to Li Xiang Jun, the door that he had been staring at for two hours finally opened.
Li Xiang Jun came out. She had changed her clothes and was much more elegant, but she still did not take off the curtain hat on her head, which disappointed many people. He Zhen couldn't care less about this at the moment. The seat on his table was still empty. He had deliberately left it there, waiting for this moment. He stood up and was about to welcome her when a person suddenly appeared and invited Li Xiang Jun.
He Shun could not see Li Xiang Jun's eyebrows that were covered by the veil on her hat. He only felt that she seemed to be looking at him. Would she refuse? Would she take the initiative to share a table with the first person she had met on the ship?
The result disappointed He Jin. Li Xiang Jun accepted the other party's invitation, but when she walked past his table, Li Xiang Jun bowed to him: "Greetings, Young Master He."
"Hello, Miss Li." He Jing forced a smile, and could only watch as Li Xiang Jun sat at the same table as someone else. He was a cultivator and the second young master of Jia City's He Clan. Normal people would definitely not dare to compete with him. But He Shun recognized the person in front of him. He was also a disciple of a large clan in Jia Ling City, but his realm was a whole level higher than He Shun's. He had connected the three spirits, and the academy he came from was much more noble than He Shun. It was the Black Army's State Protector Academy.
The State Protector Academy was ranked top five on the school ranking, but it had a political background that no other academy in the Black Army Empire had. Although its strength could not compare to the four great academies, its position in the Black Army Empire was not lower than the four great academies. This was all because of its special background. The State Protector Academy's training of cultivators, other than the homework that normal academies had, would also focus on training the students' loyalty to the Black Army Empire. People from the State Protector Academy, He Shun's realm was higher than others. Normal people did not dare to provoke him. Moreover, the other's realm was a level higher than his, so he could only drink alone.
"This one is Xiao Quan, I have not asked Miss." Xiao Quan did not look at He Shun from beginning to end, and did not care about him at all. After inviting Li Xiang Jun to sit, he introduced himself unhurriedly and asked her.
"Li." Li Xiang Jun opened her mouth, but only said her surname softly.
"So it is Miss Li." When Xiao Quan passed by He Shun's table, he had already heard He Shun call her surname. Now it was just a normal conversation.
"Thank you Young Master Xiao for inviting me." Li Xiang Jun said.
"No problem, Miss is alone. You must be careful of some lechers, don't let them take advantage of you." Xiao Quan's words were very obvious. Everyone who heard it looked towards He Shun. They saw He Shun's face turn red, and he gulped down a cup of wine, but he did not dare to do anything to Xiao Quan. If it was only his identity as a student of the State Protector Academy, He Shun would have flipped the table. However, the difference in their realms made him grit his teeth and swallow it. At this moment, he really hated himself for not working a hundred times harder on his cultivation.
As for Li Xiang Jun, she only thanked Xiao Quan for his kindness and did not say anything. Whether it was He Shun or Xiao Quan in front of her, she did not take them to heart. To her, these people were just minor characters in her play, cooperating with her to complete the role she was playing. While she was chatting with Xiao Quan, she had already scanned through everyone in the cafeteria.
There was no Lu Ping, no Morin, no one here matched the description of the three men and one woman.
They should not dare to come to the cafeteria to eat so openly. This was Li Xiang Jun's judgment from the beginning. He just wanted to see if his charisma could tempt one of them to take the risk. Now it seemed that she was thinking too much.
Xiao Quan only felt that he could not chat warmly with Li Xiang Jun for a long time. Suddenly, he slammed the table and said: "Come, go to the cargo hold and get a jar of my best apricot blossom wine!"
"Sir … This … We can't get it!" The waiter came over and said with a troubled expression.
"Go find someone who can get it." Xiao Quan said. He was clear that this was the official ship of the Botany Division, the cargo hold was considered an important place. The few servants in the cafeteria did not have the qualifications to go to the cargo hold, and it was impossible for them to have the key to the cargo hold. Only the commissioner of the Botany Division had the right to do so. In the end, this ship was used by the Botany Division to transport their resources. The other people and their goods were just passing by.
The waiter did not dare to challenge Xiao Quan and immediately went to find the manager of the ship.
This person was considered a small official in the Botany Division and recognized Xiao Quan. He did not dare to offend this young master from the State Protector Academy. After coming over, he said carefully: "Young Master Xiao, you know our cargo hold, if we want to find a jar of wine now, I'm afraid …"
This person did not finish his sentence. He believed that Xiao Quan would understand. It was not the first time Xiao Quan boarded the official ship of the Botany Division. He should be clear about the situation of the cargo hold. Other than the Botany Division's own resources, other people's goods would not be given special treatment. At this moment, no one knew where Xiao Quan's wine was piled up, and it required a lot of luck to find it.
Xiao Quan also knew that the other party was not trying to avoid it. He looked at Li Xiang Jun, if Li Xiang Jun politely said "no need to trouble yourself", he would most likely get out of this situation. But Li Xiang Jun did not say anything, as though she wanted to see how he would deal with it.
"Go down and take a look, maybe it's piled up at the door? If you really can't find it, then call me, I have my ways. "Xiao Quan said calmly, as though he was very reasonable.
"Alright …" The Botany Division's person could not avoid it, and could only send two people to the cargo hold to take a look.
"Miss, please wait a moment." Xiao Quan said to Li Xiang Jun.
"Thank you, Young Master." Li Xiang Jun nodded her head.
"Looks like Miss is also a wine lover." Xiao Quan said. Just now, Li Xiang Jun did not refuse politely, which surprised him. No matter how he looked at it, Li Xiang Jun did not look like someone who would ignore such details, and thinking about it, it could only be because of the good wine. How could he know that after Li Xiang Jun heard about the cargo hold, she immediately guessed that Lu Ping and his group were most likely hiding there. So, of course she had to push the boat, and take the opportunity of Xiao Quan going to the cargo hold to get the wine.
If those guys were hiding in the cargo hold, and if they were forced to show themselves, what should she do? Right now, Li Xiang Jun was thinking about this problem.
